  Burns Night 2007

The Seattle Branch has a traditional Robert Burns Night in January of each year.  It is an occasion for toasting to the lads and lassies,  presentation of haggis and other Scottish delicacies, and dancing to Scottish  music.  Both dancers and non-dancers join us for the annual event.

 

We celebrated on January 20, 2007, with Brian Crisafulli & Friends providing the dancing music
